"I don't know. I know Helen's written the book. It means there's a possibility," Renée told Los Angeles-based correspondent Ross King on the morning television show. Sounds pretty promising to us.

The starlet also discussed her six-year break from Hollywood explaining: "You reach a point doing a thing for a long time and I've had some extraordinary experiences. It's time to learn things.

Renée's previously said she would "love" to work on a Bridget Jones 4. "I really hope so. I do. I love her. She's so much fun," the actress said when asked by the Daily Record in January if there could be a sequel.

A new novel would be Helen's fifth in the series following Bridget Jones's Diary in 1996, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in 1999, Mad About The Boy in 2013 and Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries in 2016.

The film adaptations followed in 2001, 2004 and 2016.

Despite Mark Darcey being killed off in the third book, this movie - Bridget Jones's Baby - showed the protagonist split then reunite with him, have a baby and a one night stand with Patrick Dempsey's Jack.
